I got tagged in the 11 questions game by my girl Paige... so here it goes!

Paige's Questions:

1. if you could only eat one meal for the rest of your life, what would it be? Do rice crispy treats count?

2. how old were you when you had your first kiss? was it good? My first kiss was on my wedding day. And it was amazing. And I get to kiss him every day.

3. how many pillows do you sleep with? 2 extremely flat, limp, down pillows. One under my head, one covering my arm above my head so it doesn't get cold.

4. what celebrity would you want to spend an afternoon with? what would you do? Carrie Underwood. We would probably wear cowboy hats and go on a lunch date, followed by a ridiculous leg workout so I could figure out how she gets those stems.

5. what's your first memory? I was 3 and there was a baby fox running around our cul de sac. Naturally, I was playing with it. In the neighbor's yard. And then I brought it in my house.

6. harry potter or twilight or the hunger games? Harry Potter every day.

7. if you could live in any decade, what would it be? Probably the 1920's. So romantic!

8. what's your favorite thing about being a girl? Getting all dolled up whenever I feel like it.

9. do you follow any superstitions? Not necessarily superstitious, but totally afraid of the dark and ghosts, etc.

10. do you have any weird talents? what are they? I can do cool tricks on the diving board.

11. what's your favorite song lyric? There are so many... this is so hard! But right this second... I'll take a mushy quote right out of our song "All This Time" by OneRepublic:

I just realized today that Trevor has been home from his mission for 3 years now!

I just dug through my old email and found some of the notes we sent each other the weeks before he left for the MTC.

At the risk of everyone gagging at our dorky mushiness, here's a few sweet little excerpts of our story from 5+ years ago:

Climbing out of the pool after 2 freezing hours of swimming lessons today sure had me thinking about a place like this:

And speaking of swimming lessons, I have this adorable little boy in one of my classes right now named Bentley. 4 years old, giant smile, never closes his eyes under water, sweet as can be. I somehow ALWAYS get water in my ears during his class (can't imagine why with class full of 4 year olds that can't stop splashing the entire 30 minutes?). I always do the "knock and shake"... you know that dance. Pound on your head and jump on one foot until you can hear again. It took me a bit to catch on, but I realized that every time I do this, Bentley starts knocking on his head too. He just smiles and looks at me, obediently copying my every move. So funny.

I want a cat. So. Bad.
But I can't have one.
1. Our apartment doesn't allow them.
2. Not the best to have around when you're pregnant (NO I'm not pregnant but the time is coming in a shorter future than the life of a cat)
3. Trevor and cats aren't friends.

I absolutely plan on being a cat lady one day.
I love them.
I email pictures of kittens to Trevor on a regular basis, so he remembers that he's going to have to accept the fact that they will be part of our life.
